COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Spring has gotten off to a good start for Genovis. The
trend from last year continues, with a strong increase in sales of products from
the protein engineering portfolio. Meanwhile, development of the nano portfolio
has made great strides. Several scientific papers have been published
illustrating the benefits of Genovis’ nanoparticles, and we are following our
development plan toward a launch in the third quarter of this year.

One year
ago, we launched new product concepts from the protein engineering portfolio:
FragIT, DeGlycIT and FragIT kits. The new products are intended to simplify and
standardize work for our customers, making it easier for them to scale up their
processes. They are marketed at a higher price per test, but save working hours
for the customer. We are now beginning to see results and so far we can say that
customers want the new products and the number of products sold in that category
will increase more than the average increase for all products. During the
quarter we increased sales from the protein engineering portfolio by about 150%
compared with the same quarter last year and revenues from the new products now
account for 35% of income from the protein engineering portfolio.

We are
planning the next launch in the protein engineering portfolio for June. The time
is now right for a high-throughput product that makes it possible to handle
hundreds of samples quickly and reliably. We have plenty of work left to do in
the market. We want to reach more customers in our target market and develop
product concepts that can help to increase volumes with existing customers. It
is an exciting challenge to try to reach as many of our potential customers as
possible. To do so we are expanding our marketing campaigns in terms of both
quantity and new formats, and I expect 2012 expenses to increase 15% as a result
of these initiatives. We are pleased that we are being helped along by our
customers, who are publishing the excellent results they achieve with our
products. Recognition by customers also facilitates the process of finding the
right partners that can expand our marketing activities to more geographic areas
than those we are covering today. The process is ongoing and is obviously a high
-priority strategic measure.

Lund in April
